If Guiliani was still in office I'm sure there would be no East River Park, he probably would have petitioned the Battery Maritime Building to be demolished as well. I really wish Bloomberg could run for another term, he in my opinion is the best mayor in the city's history.
A $58 million dollar restoration has been in the works since 2001, when Guiliani was still in office. Even if he was still in office, the building is a National Landmark, since 1967, so he couldnt really demolish it.
